Sorry for the lack of posts recently but the Disco Biscuits run is taking up most of my time, well that and making sure I drink enough haha. Anyway let me make it up to ya with a small little post but an awesome one none the less . Normal posting rates shall resume in the new year once I recover and maybe I'll do a top 10 list but everyone seems to do it and it probably wouldn't be too different from the thousand other ones out there.

Neon Indian was pretty awesome last night, they pretty much sounded just like the album but it was nice that they had a full live band for the show. Here is a little vid I took of "6669 (I don't know if you know)"

The first track to be heard from Sigur Rós leader Jónsi Birgisson's debut solo LP is the soundtrack to animated glory; its overflowing strings, flutes, guitars, background vocals, drums, and more provide the perfect puffy clouds, Jónsi's voice colors the scene. Here, cynicism does not exist.

So, you all know of my undying love for wonderfully crafted pop music and if you check this blog regularly at all and trust my opinion, I would highly recommend you check out Penguin Prison. He's based out of new york and his upcoming album is one of my most anticipated releases of next year, his songs have this great refreshing quality about them so make sure to check him out.

The Skweee curve takes a sharp upturn into higher production values with the intensified R'n'B electronics of Randy Barracuda's debut album. Even a glance at the sleeve tells you this record will be slightly more than your average Skwee skronk, but the inclusion of vocals from Michael Black Electro, Mama Africa and the Afro B. Logic singers turn this into an ambitious pop project from the fringes of experimental songwriting. 'Tähtien Lapsi' and 'Skwee Like A Pig' are fine examples of the way Skwee efficiently reduces electro-soul and old-skool R'n'B, but when you reach 'Hungry For Another Touch' with it's Junior Boys-on-a-budget aesthetic, they achieve proper pop structures. 'Overnight' Romancin' backs this up with a fatter approximation of classic Prince with over-funked bass guitar from Eero Johannes and 'Love Axe/Heavy Metal' nails a mini-pop epic with exceedingly dry humour offset by frilly synthlines. For the dancefloor there's always the glassy eyed, polo nosed skwonq of 'Ketamine Strut', but the best tracks are easily those crazy vocal cuts. Check this album if you like the idea of Zomby, Herbie Hancock and Junior Boys doing bumps of K in a Helsinki nightclub. Sick,(boomkat)
